Steven Hunt

Name: Steven Hunt

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Grade: 12th

School: Bayview Secondary School

Hobbies and Interests: Steven enjoys anything to do with machines or electronics - It is the satisfaction of working on something for a while and seeing it come to life. Likewise he enjoys the Dramatic Arts for much the same reason - he loves seeing a play come to life (He is a long-time member of the Bayview Improv Club). He is very energetic and strange both in the theater and outside of it, he is often seen as quite weird; though his friends have became used to his antics. He listens to a variety of music, ranging from Metal to Jazz, Classic Rock to Ska-Punk and everything in between. He occasionally listens to Jazz or Big Band Swing. Steven also enjoys creative writing quite a bit, and is often seen writing in notebooks or on a laptop.

Appearance: Steve is about 5'11, with a thin, lightly muscled frame. His long legs are a weak point for him as he is still recovering from a knee condition he acquired at the age of 13 due to an intense growth spurt; thus he never was really a decent runner and couldn't participate in many sports, putting him out of shape for a good few years of his life. At a glance Steve has a slight air of femininity though not to a considerable degree. He has mid-length, almost black hair and a light, only slightly rounded face. He has a cartilage piercing in his right ear - a simple loop. An outstanding feature is his eyes - they are greenish-blue, and intense, with unusually large pupils. He has a light face with a pale complexion. Steve usually wears dark, loose-fitting jeans, loose long-sleeve plaid shirts and a black, heavily worn military jacket. Often he keeps various strange objects inside his jacket that he finds and takes, being somewhat of a kleptomaniac. He also carries a lighter, though he doesn't smoke, and a large pocket knife.

Biography: Steven Hunt would grow up in Sundridge, Ontario as an only child with his parents, Eric and Meredith Hunt, in a small division of houses within the little town. Quiet by nature, and rarely meeting any other kids than his seventeen classmates, Steven mostly kept to himself during the first ten years of his life.

Huge changes would come about when his parents decided to move to Toronto, a short distance south of Sundridge, as his mother had gotten a job there, and many family friends had also moved there as a result of the area's declining economy.

Living in a larger suburb of Toronto, Steven was thrust into a completely different world. Everywhere he looked, there were people! It was both frightening and wonderful to him. Steven would quickly make friends in this new, incredible city, who would see him as a somewhat mysterious and strange figure. He was intelligent, but not the best student; often he would go on to amaze his teachers and his peers with an incredible degree of aptitude despite his average grades. When asked to present a school project he would break from his shy and quiet demeanor and express such a great degree of interest and prowess that it would knock other students from their bored stupor and they would actually start to listen to him. Teachers would later take notice of this. As much as he would please them through elementary school with his great deal of interest and knowledge, he never really motivated himself to do the best in school, and thus wasn't seen as much as a nerd as he might've been.

Knowing how to integrate into social groups well, Steven would rarely make enemies and is seen as quite friendly by almost everyone. However, Steven doesn't quite think the same of everyone else, and is known for also having a particularly short fuse and being quite energetic and intense. It is quite easy to push his buttons, and people take advantage of this. Steven would often joke that he has a dual personality - one moment he is calm and logical, the next he would seem to be whimsical and strange, often a bit too intense and weird for his own good. Though he had many "acquaintances", he had very few close friends.

For the most part, Steven is personable and easy to get along with, and despite his strange personality he was able to ease through elementary school without any great deal of adversity. Come high school, however, things would start to "pick up" for Steven.

Immediately the idea of being significantly more free to pursue his own interests appealed to him, and upon entering the school, he elected to be more open and active within his school. It failed miserably. Not only did he land a terribly difficult series of subjects during his first semester, he would find his social life crashing and burning as his small circle of friends would split and fragment, partially of his own doing. One of the few things keeping him going through this was the Drama club. He only thought of it as a little hobby on the side at first, but after spontaneously landing a part in the school's entry for a Drama festival he seemed to have a newfound passion. For the next few years Steven would pursue both Drama and Musical Theater, playing mostly serious roles and occasionally small, comical ones.

A great blow to his emotional well-being would come when he arrived at the personal revelation that he was gay. Steven had never been particularly interested in girls, and after a great deal of inner conflict regarding his sexuality, he felt secure enough to come out to his parents. They initially were quite hostile - not because they were overtly homophobic or discouraged the prospect of homosexuality (though Steven suspected as much) but because they worried he would get hurt by others because of it. Despite his best attempts to reassure them that his generation was far more accepting and he wouldn't have to face great challenges, they were still greatly critical of his decision to be open about his sexuality.

He wouldn't have to worry about its affect on his friends, however, as a high-paying job opportunity opened up to his mother in St. Paul, Minnesota. She would make roughly four times the amount she currently did, with far more beneifits and a flexible schedule. Suffice to say, there was no reason to turn it down, aside from Steven's protests. He came to realize it was for the best, and would say only a few short teary goodbyes to his best friends before leaving. He made a point of leaving them each a short letter illustrating how much he valued their friendships, and explained how he really didn't want to leave them behind, but had no choice.

Almost four years later, Steven still hasn't completely adjusted to life in the United States. Though he did make a few new friends in St. Paul, he still misses the friends he grew up with and still keeps in contact with them. Re-inventing himself in his new town, Steven seems to have been able to find a sense of self, and is now quite happy with his life.

His musical interests began to develop more so during this time. Steven always hung out around the music students though he never was one himself, but after moving away he felt a need to expand his interests beyond what his friends were listening to - seeing as how he wasn't really going to be around them for a long time. He now has an impressive collection of music and it is now a fledgling interest of his.

Steven is widely involved in both the Improv Club and Bayview's shop programs, though he is known mostly for his skills in Drama. Often he is seen idling in the hallways on his free periods or sitting on a park bench outside reading a script or writing something, as he also has a longstanding interest in creative writing. He's known as a pretty calm, nice person who is always willing to help out others regardless of how well he knows them. While a small group of people simply can't stand him for his intense and often argumentative personality, he is largely well-liked throughout Bayview.

Advantages: Friendly and well-spoken, Steven shouldn't have a difficult time finding a group or talking his way out of situations. His acting skills may help him as well in the respect that he may have to feign certain emotions or lie to people. Growing up in northern Ontario where a good deal of hunting goes on, he was taught to respect and be wary of firearms and isn't likely to shoot himself in the foot with one, though he has only mild experience with them.

Disadvantages: One glaring disadvantage is that Steven can't run for extended periods of time as his knees aren't completely healed. Steven has very little patience for people as well, and may be quick to anger; especially in a stressful situation like SOTF. He greatly values human life and it is highly unlikely he would ever attack someone. He particularly values his own life to a very large degree and he will defend himself. Steven himself can be inwardly paranoid in times of stress and this might lead him to not trust people he normally would. He has also been known to make knee-jerk decisions without thinking about them, and in the SOTF Act this may be a considerable crutch.

Designated Number: Male Student no. 32

Designated Weapon: Cricket Bat

Conclusion: It's great that B32 knows enough about firearms to not shoot himself in the foot, but that little bit of information is irrelevant, seeing as he got a cricket bat! I'd love to see this guy bash someone's brains in with it, but he doesn't appear to be the fighting type. How unfair.
